international news live from moscow this is an see with me hala thanks for joining us israel has reportedly continued attacks on gaza despite pledging to hold its offensive during a brief visit there by egypt's prime minister who arrives to show support to palestinians hamas says two people were killed in this latest trikes following the deaths of nineteen palestinians including civilians since the start of the operation and let's now get a little from the storm bottom intel of a hello there tom so why did this cease fire during the gyptian premiers visit break down so quickly. here soon it seemed that that tends to silence i was reporting on before hardly had any time to last almost as soon as the announcement was made that egypt's prime minister was inside gaza

that was that announcement was followed head on the heels of the first sightings of both rockets being fired out of. guards are almost as if nothing had happened and israeli air strikes in response it seemed that the that in hindsight all the hope that have been placed around this visit the possibility of a ceasefire being broken it seems to have been shattered as this as this truce didn't even seem to get off the ground before firing resumes just as it was before the egypt egypt's prime minister was meeting how mass is prime minister as well in gaza and they were touring around the territory they were inside the hospital visiting some of the wounded when apparently two fresh victims when reportedly a child of an israeli air strike were brought in whilst egypt's prime minister was there and he reportedly said that he described the situation in gaza as

a disaster saying i simply cannot keep quiet israel must stop its aggression egypt really throwing its weight behind the gardens and how much they're saying you know it is it is israel that bears the burden for this escalation in aggression however rockets have also been for being fired out of out of gaza and territory hamas and other militants there as well and since this truce is supposed to have been observed there have been israelis having to take cover in southern israel as well so that can we say that there are some signs of a ground invasion getting closer than. they are indeed there are a number of factors that point to that thirty thousand israeli reservists are ready to be called up they've also been numerous reports of tanks and troops moving south towards the border with gaza and

a number of of harsh statements by i.d.f. and israeli defense spokespeople. saying things like this is just the beginning of this operation it will go on for some days yet and saying that this operation will hit many more targets and israel will do anything that is needed including a ground invasion in order to secure the safety of its citizens living in the south the risk of a ground war very much looming still and the shattering of this cease fire almost before it could begin really doesn't give any any greater hope that it can be avoided once he's tom blanton the latest live from tel aviv thank you very much indeed for that update. despite a number of civilian deaths including those of children israel's foreign ministry has hailed the precision of these radio operation and my colleague. has been

speaking to that spokesperson paul shanley. this is been so far one of the most surgical pinpoint military operations in modern military history i think again you will see that the civilian to militant casualty ratio will show up israel to have unfortunately killed civilians but far fewer then than any other comparable military. action but you have a pin point operation you call this one of the most precise and exact and pinpoint military operations that israel's known in recent history and that can allow for what you might consider collateral damage the killing of children when you when you presented and you talk about civilians it's always said as all the three israelis who were killed but all of the palestinians who were killed seven are confirmed militants two to use a like you would know you are you. possibly you're just giving rise to anti israeli attitudes among palestinians let's let's have a listen to this quickly as the hamas leader that we spoke to just a bit earlier please stand by. the assassination of this great leader. clearly

confirms that we are still in the heart of resistance with the israeli enemy our designers generally knows nothing look the language of killing and blood our battle with the enemy is an open bottle to god willing this battle will end with palestine and jerusalem liberated being what we should wait for action would not occur and. we've seen their actions a situation which most often anywhere in the world could accept what would you do were just one missile to land in central moscow we talk about missiles and let's this car fire here we're talking about mortar rockets that are being attracted over some some might say that a mortar rocket from the palestinian militants compared to your. health fire inside why the missiles from your super high tech fighter jets oh well that's quite a big difference between fireworks and bombs but the truth of the matter is that we have a situation where just today three israeli civilians were killed call them authors call them missiles or did civilians we have

a situation where in the recent past something. percent of these raby children in southern israel have post-traumatic stress disorder and israel was heavily criticized by a part of the world community i agree with you there i remind you and i point out that that was four years ago is the lowest civilian to militant casualty rate in history twenty nine percent of those killed were civilians and i'm not belittling the death of any civilians but so far lower than any other military campaign in the last century i think that we will see something similar to start with hoping to achieve a number of things first and foremost to significantly degrade the command and control operational abilities of hamas. and you can keep track of what's happening in gaza on our website and i would put a timeline featuring a live updates on the latest with everything from eyewitness accounts from the besieged strip to official statements from the sides. and also that right now for you how he's issued

a warning to israel for its threat to the internet in gaza they've also prepared detailed instructions for users on how to avoid a communications blackout story and of course full coverage of the conflict in gaza at r.t. dot com. an israeli peace activist says the hamas military leader ahmed jabari assassinated at the start of israel's offensive was murdered amid talks on a long term truce with israel that's now crossed live to that activist aggression the asking for more details he's in jerusalem for us mr baskett welcome to the show so you are saying that a draft of a permanent increase agreement already existed what went wrong that. well the draft was initially drafted about eight months ago is presented to the israeli side to the egyptian intelligence or in the united nations for deliberation both the israeli side and the. committees to evaluate it through the study.

over the last. the intensity of the fighting and i decided together with my counterpart that we were instrumental in negotiating the deal that led to the freedom of. trying to push forward. a new version of the draft he was presenting. in fact on wednesday morning he was presenting. himself to receive later that evening the copy of the draft in arabic for me to deliver to the. intelligence. well there is a legitimate argument within the israeli security assessment of whether or not making a truce with strength when we know that his colleagues are not peace activists they

don't want peace with israel they're going to structure for tactical reasons they have. in their interest because each round of violence brings about the death of between ten and twenty. and they didn't see any value when nothing. was happening on their rocket attacks so they wanted to at least have a. where they could. be having a truce with them would strengthen them there were people who believe that what we need to do is. that they will fall out of power and there are those who believe that we need to create deterrence strong enough so that hamas will attack israel attack of rockets population in israel is intolerable by any country and they needed to take action i believe personally that we've tried everything we needed leaders. terry i'm commanders we have put on an economic siege we have bombed them

we did cast lead we've tried everything except the dialogue except an attempt to reach an understanding with. verification and for compliance with the involvement of the egyptian military intelligence i think it had a chance to work but will have to postpone it for some time. the timing of the with elections just around the corner do you think this is being done for some kind of political advantage maybe. i sincerely hope not that would be extraordinarily cynical i think we're far enough away from election still to say that this was not a consideration of the people who made the decision to do this offensive at this time. i really hope that it was. one of israel's and the game here. hoping to achieve that. well i think this is one of the failings

in the strategic planning of this operation i don't know how you define a game at this point their stated gain him is to create deterrence how do you determine when you create enough deterrence is it when you killed enough people or you destroyed enough of the infrastructure or destroyed enough buildings i don't know how you define it and when does the other side decide enough is enough so i think that what we have here is a bigger chance for escalation for a ground operation we have to really recall that the hamas rockets that they shoot into israel are what we call a statistical weapon they usually followed open spaces but they could fall on a school bus and a kindergarten under supermarket on an apartment building full of people that could collapse we could have major casualties it could happen if that happens we guaranteed to have a ground operation and then we don't know how that ends either so we have a calculated risk here which is based primarily on luck and i think that's a pretty bad strategic call thank you very much indeed for.

the occupy was nothing more than a bunch of aimless protests and empty rhetoric you're wrong because this is just yet another example of how occupy proposes real solutions for real people so let's break that set. i'm sure you've all heard of the term bread and circuses it's a phrase that was quiet during the roman empire to exemplify a political strategy describing how public approval was not accomplished through exemplary public service but rather through distraction the leadership of rome tapped into and capitalism some of those shallow frivolous desires of its populace to keep them satisfied as long as the romans were fed and entertain they remain complacent yes this was fifteen hundred years ago but are things that much different now to take today the us is the world's most dominant military empire and as we know empires are unsustainable so could the inundation of mindless.
